WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE
MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14TH MARCH 2017
Question
Will the Minister provide a breakdown of the total cost so far incurred in setting up and managing the Jersey Aircraft Registry, as well as the number of aircraft which have so far been registered?
Answer
Since the decision was made on 17th September 2013 by the then Minister for Economic Development to pursue a Jersey Aircraft Registry until 1st February 2017, £860,801 has been spent on establishing and developing the Jersey Aircraft Registry (JAR).
This breaks down as follows:
- IT development - £372,000
- Registrar services - £115,000
- Insurance - £25,000
- Specialist Advice & Consultancy - £177,000
- Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) - £15,000
- External Marketing, admin and PR support - £32,000
- Travel and associated expenses - £17,000
- External legal advice - £11,000
- Miscellaneous including internal resources - £96,000
To date two aircraft have been registered. The Jersey Aircraft Registry opened in late 2015. It was given the full year of 2016 to operate. Since the beginning of this year a new team has been working towards a redesign and on a new model to improve performance. This work is ongoing and expected to finalise in the coming months.
